She looked like she was anywhere between about 40 and 50, it's hard to tell. I didn't know what to think of this. The longest I've worked a single job (which also happened to be a supermarket, but different brand) was 3 years, and that seemed like a long time to spend at a single company.

How can someone spend 23 years at a single job, especially something as very boring / low-paying / bully-oriented as a supermarket job?

I know various people would come into this topic and attack me. I wasn't particularly attacking her for working THAT kind of job, but rather staying at ANY job for that long. How can you not get bored? Miserable? Fed up? And I know how much they pay at places like that, and it's about 8 an hour (about $11 an hour).

Probably kids. Add to that the job is probably not that bad and/or the pay is decent.

I guess she enjoys the job. Supermarkets are great for extroverts because you get to met new people everyday

Listen.

I don't think there's anything wrong with working in the same CAREER filed for decades, I'm talking about working at the same job. There's a big difference.

Plus, her job wasn't a career. She was a regular worker. She wasn't even a junior manager, and I know those people get paid peanuts as well.

See?

Eh, it happens. You get comfortable and the familiar is what you know.

I've been with the same place last eight years. Hoping this is my last year here though.

If she was there for 23 years, I'm sure she was making more than 8 an hour. Also chances are good she was an assistant manager or something. Most retail and service jobs give salary and benefits to people in management positions.

She was wearing the company's worker uniform.

And to be fair, when I worked in a supermarket myself, there were people who had worked there for maybe 10 years, who had seemingly never been promoted.

You actually get more "regulars" than you do new people. People are far more structured with their grocery shopping than they are with any other kind.
